Is might of the firstborn intended to be strong enough to prevent the witch king/a dragon /sauron/etc from taking an action? Lesser foes I could see considering the after effect of that ability, but I feel like at least powerful foes should get a save, or everyone gets a high DC save or something.....

I pretty much stole and translated the TOR version to AiMe, and they didn't have Dreams there. They probably should have it. Dreams of Elder Days for AiMe essentially reworks TOR's Elvish Dreams . Dreams of Elder Days "…he could sleep, if sleep it could be called by Men, resting his mind in the str...

I agree. I know very little about how character creation is handled in AiMe, but I read your post in that forum and it seemed an easy and natural fit. TOR just doesn’t have an easy mechanic for it, but the way I wrote it above feels the most natural so far. It’s also fairly simple, which is always ...

I don't think this should be a template limited to the Woodmen as we already have a precedent in Tolkien's legendarium in the Princes of Dol Amroth. It was suggested to me that looking at Changeling Characters ( The Darkening of Mirkwood , page 98) might provide some help on how to approach this. I'...

While I agree that Half-elves should probably not constitute a distinct Culture, nothing else works very well for them in TOR other than arguably the Character Archetypes (from the Adventurer's Companion ). It's a little easier with AiMe where Half-elven (or Elf-blooded!) can be written up as a Back...

The Tools of War – The Tools of War – You have proficiency with daggers, spears, broadswords, short swords, and short bows. I gave Elves of Lórien proficiency with great bows because of the the Bow of the Galadhrim (great bow). ELVES OF LÓRIEN CULTURAL VIRTUES Was there a reason you left out the Cu...

I worked this up in response to your query, so it is sill pretty rough. I intentionally left out the introduction from the Adventurer's Companion . ~ Elves of Lórien ~ "But we hear that Lórien is not yet deserted, for there is a secret power here that holds evil from the land. Nevertheless its folk ...

The best I can do is the cultural attitudes of the Wayward Elves as revealed in pages 78-79 of the Adventurer's Companion for TOR: What Galion Says… The words of Galion, former Butler to King Thranduil… • Bardings: “Now that their kingdom is restored and the Dragon is slain, these mortals leave thei...

Like I said, I'm 100% with you there. My question was about elves . No, your question was about Elves and Dwarves both: "Anyway, what I was wondering was whether there's a canonical source about different races' vision. IMO having nobody have perfect "see in the dark" darkvision isn't a bad thing, ...

I cannot provide a definitive answer, however, a hero can switch from a forward stance to an open stance or a defensive stance without changing position. The stance represents the style of fighting being used. Rearward stance is an exception as it indicates that the hero is positioned to make ranged...
